Roberto Hernandez, who as you all know by now was once known as Fausto Carmona, has had a long journey back to playing baseball in the USA.
Roberto Hernandez Making First Rehab Start Thursday
Without boring you once again with all the details, he’s getting closer to returning to the Cleveland Indians:
Indians announce Roberto Hernandez (the former Fausto Carmona) will make rehab start Thursday for Lake County vs. West Michigan.

Lake County and West Michigan are in the Low-A Midwest League, so he’ll probably get three or four more starts before he gets back to the major leagues. He’s serving a three-week suspension while this rehab assignment goes on, so you can figure the minor-league assignment will last that long. That puts him on target for a return to Cleveland about mid-August. The Tribe still has a shot at one of the wild-card spots, so they’ll welcome him back no matter what his name is now.
